Fun App

This app is super cool to have, because it is interesting and it adds some swag to your home page. The words aren’t always challenging and sometimes they are weird slang type words, but it doesn’t hurt to refine your idea of terms that you THINK you already know. With all of this said, It does provide you with good words every so often. There are some bugs and it is not perfect, but If you don’t like it, then get another word of the day app! Oh wait….
